SH4 has tapped into a much better random generator that works well. I was 1500 miles away from Japan and was getting dive bombed pretty frequently. I found a Jap carrier being the culpret which was neat. I like being able to divert from my mission sometimes and sneak into an enemy port and raise a little hell. Once for the heck of it i went to San francisco and saw the bridge and there were friendly ship in the bay. So I think the ability to have a world wide map is technicaly available and to have random events happen is doable as well. The randomness that enemy task forces in SH4 astounds me, they are in places i never expect them to be. A similar modern style of this could certainly be made. Although it would be semi-fictitious. It would be a blast.
DW and SC have no battle stations? Unbelievable! There is so much more they could add to a game like this that would be fun and be more of a CO experience than a Sonar operator experience which is pretty much what these games are.
